Thank you so much - and I hope you had an excellent evening.
It's a pleasure to get to use some of that space to its full potential for once. I can really only take much credit for some changes to the library and the addition of the duelling salon. Much of the rest just is letting the good bones of the original house show to their best advantage (very magnificent and showy bones, mind.)
Perhaps sometime I can show you more of the details - there's a room we closed off for the party that's one of my favourites, for example. I admit I spend most of my time when we're at Spence there, if I'm not in our private rooms, the library, or sometimes the kitchen.
I'm also delighted you enjoyed Sulo Blandis's work. I particularly liked how he dug down to find something other than the same old stories we've all heard dozens of times. (Granted, he emigrated a couple of years ago, and I suppose there's a freshness of perspective that comes with that.)
